Breastfeeding does make the pounds melt off, thats with a healthy diet. don't overeat, or eat extra fat calories if your breast feeding, listen to your body and eat organic healthy. also, be aware of how birth control pills affect hormones and wieght after giving birth...i suggest no hormones, and get checked after 3 months to ensure you are are at normal prolactin levels for breastfeeding and eating healthy foods that provide the hormones your body needs. also implement an excercise routine with your baby as a wieght...good play time and mommy baby bonding...1 hour daily.

I am 27 weeks along with my third child. at the beginning of my pregnancy i weighed 122 lbs i am currently at 121 lbs. i feel huge but my scale disagrees and am starting to get concerned. i gained around 35 lbs with both my other pregnancies and delivered at only 34 weeks both were 5 lbs at birth. should i be worried????

I am underweight. i was very depressed from a miscarriage and weighed 11 pounds less then i should have, but only 6 pounds under my normal weight. the doctor is counting me as a start off of my normal weight instead of my depressed weight. at first i gained nothing, but now i am 29 weeks and have managed a gain of 19 pounds from my normal weight! i need to gain 9 more pounds to stay on target. every woman is different and i would suggest talking to your doctor about your concerns!

I gained 40 pounds with my last pregnancy and was never able to lose more than 15 of it. it has been awful, trying to lose this weight for the last 2 years and failing over and over again, going from an always-slender person to an overweight one.
now i am pregnant again and i will not gain more than 15 pounds. i really urge other pregnant women to be careful about their weight gain because once you put it on, it is very difficult to lose again (and yes, i breastfed for over a year and it is a myth that breastfeeding makes the pounds melt off!!)

Weight gain is so different for everyone and every child. i am on my third, and the weight gain is completely different from my other two children. i eat healthy, but have stopped exercising, and feel like i have the flu everday. my prepregnancy weight was 114 lbs and now at 25 weeks i am 132 lbs- i weighed less than that when i was in labour with my second baby! yikes....hopefully the weight gain slows down...

I gained 40 with my first. this pregnancy i have a trainer that i see 2 times a week, and i track everything i eat on mydailyplate (which i have done since i had my son) and i am still on track to gain around 40 again (18 pounds up at 25 weeks). i just think your body does what your body does. i work out a ton and eat extremely healthy which i didnt with my first son! so just dont gorge and be healthy and your body will do the rest!

I am 18 weeks pregnant with my second child. i gained 50+ lbs with my son and was terrified with this baby. but i've lost 5 lbs with this pregnancy. i eat fairly normal, so i don't understand what is happening!

Pregnancy is not the time to diet. don't eat horribly, but you can always lose the weight afterwards.
i gained 60 lbs with my last pregnancy from eating badly, i was able to lose 80 lbs afterwards. i've gained 10 lbs so far and i'm 21 weeks...but it's taken a lot of self restraint.
i'm concerned that the baby's not growing enough because i'm not eating tons, but i think i've found the perfect balance this time around. still, i worry.
